In what has become an annual neighborhood tradition, McPherson Applebee’s will again thank our nation’s veterans and active duty service members by inviting them to their neighborhood Applebee’s for a free meal on Veterans Day.

For the fifth year, Applebee’s will salute the nation’s military by serving an estimated 1 million free meals, nationwide, on Veterans Day. Since Applebee’s first began thanking the military with a free meal, restaurants have served approximately 4 million veterans and active duty military members on their day of remembrance and respect.

“For the fifth straight year, Applebee’s is proud to say ‘Thank You’ to our veterans and active duty military on Veterans Day,” said Jim Stevens, Franchise Principal. “Each year, service members gather in our restaurants to share stories, meet up with old friends and make new ones. It’s our favorite day of the year, and it’s an honor to serve the people who make this a special tradition for us.”

Applebee’s is offering a Veterans Day menu including some of its signature and favorite items, including:

- 7 oz. House Sirloin

- Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger

- Three-Cheese Chicken & Sundried Tomato Penne

- Fiesta Lime Chicken®

- Double Crunch Shrimp

- Chicken Tenders Platter

- Oriental Chicken Salad

Guests will need to provide proof of service, which includes U.S. Uniform Services Identification Card, U.S. Uniform Services Retired Identification Card, Current Leave and Earnings Statement, Veterans Organization Card, photograph in uniform or wearing uniform, DD214, Citation or Commendation.

Applebee’s Thank You Meals will be offered during normal business hours on Monday. Hours vary by location, so guests should call their local Applebee’s restaurant in advance to inquire about specific location hours.
